How a Restore Request Works

Restore jobs use the following process:

1. You issue a restore command from CA ARCserve Backup.
2. CA ARCserve Backup informs the agent of the restore job.
3. The agent instructs Microsoft SQL Server to prepare to receive the data.
4. CA ARCserve Backup accesses storage media and begins restoring data.
5. CA ARCserve Backup transfers data to the agent.
6. The agent transfers data to Microsoft SQL Server.
7. Microsoft SQL Server recovers the database.
